There are 38 schools in the USA with the word jesus in the name.

The word "Jesus" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to the country's deeply rooted Christian heritage and the influence of religious traditions in American history. In certain regions, especially in the South and Midwest, Christian values and historical figures play a significant role in shaping community identities, which often extends to the naming of local institutions. Many schools were established at times when religious expression was more closely intertwined with public life, reflecting the values and beliefs of founding communities. Additionally, some school names might honor individuals or places with biblical significance, reinforcing a sense of tradition and continuity. This naming practice is a reflection of broader cultural patterns in the United States, where religion has had a lasting impact on education and community organization.
